Jose Aldo is very overrated

[barillas]

I'm tired of constantly seeing him being included in the GOAT lists. The number of times he has been defeated in the UFC matches the number of times he has finished his opponents (if you consider KZ's injury as a finished match). He faced humiliation multiple times during his prime years in his early 30s. He's not even top 2 FW, Volk and Max are already ahead of him in this division. It annoys me how people treat him as if he is a god, especially here in Brazil. Additionally, he is a sore loser. He kept insisting on a rematch with Conor McGregor but declined it when RDA got injured. Conor was kind enough to offer him a boxing match recently, but Aldo responded rudely. Here in Brazil, Popó, a well-known boxer even proposed a friendly fight with him, only to be rudely rejected by Aldo. Personally, I don't have any positive feelings towards him.

WEC Aldo was a different animal.

Unbeaten for over a decade against a bunch of killers.
I think he is probably a top 5-7 GOAT
and GOAT FW, or 2nd (Volk is very close behind, but I wouldn't complain about Volk being GOAT FW either). I love Max and he's a legend with huge balls, but his 3 title defenses doesn't really compare to Aldo's 7 (9 if including WEC)

Also, about Aldo responding rudely to Conor, do you think he is going to be polite to the man who taunted him mercilessly for like a year straight and then embarassed him in front of the world in one of the biggest fights ever?

You take that back!

TC's ability to understand what he's watching is overrated

This is such a terrible take from a 2011 account. Aldo's prime ended at a younger age than most cause he started fighting much younger than most and fought often, this happened all the time back in the day when fighters used to start fighting around 18-20 and fought 3-4 times a year. It doesn't happen much anymore cause most people don't fight that often anymore. Aldo is the FW GOAT. He has significantly more title defenses than anyone else between WEC and UFC and IMO they should both be included since WEC was where the best FWs were at the time anyway.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

WEC and early in his ufc career he was a beast
He still proved to be a good fighter long after his prime

I'm not meaning to open a can of worms, but not as beastly post USADA

The same could be said about Fedor.

I hate when people do that shit, Aldo never looked physically different post USADA. Not everyone that declined after USADA did so due to drug testing, he had a lot of mileage on him by that time and had been fighting from a young age. Guys like that decline at a younger age cause the wear and tear is more important than age specifically. The opposite is also often true, people who start MMA late tend to be competitive at a much older age than guys who start younger.

AWA !

A DECADE of whooping the best fighters at the time.​

Aldo

Awesome !​

I really miss these inflammatory threads made to bait people.

I disagree
It's not like he had 50 pro fights or been in many back and forward wars

Jose definitely benefitted from the juice imo. Conor was right about that

 

[EnthusiastCultivator]

100% I agree.

He was only 29 against Conor and 31 against Max. Vastly overrated.

 

[Black Blood]

Nah.

Top3 FW easy. Aldo was a beast in his prime and a top 10 BW when he decided to retire.

Aldo’s run at BW disqualifies your entire post.

Nah dude easily number 1 FW and I’m a Volk Stan and love him to bits but Aldo was another level in his run.

I’d give my remaining ball to of see them square off in their primes.

 

[sonhow]

Aldo was so good he almost went on a bw title run while completely past his prime. His fight with Merab was dead close. In another day, another city it could have easily gone to Jose
